Abstract
The paper describes the conceptual design of the COMPASS Upgrade (COMPASS-U) tokamak which represents a compact, medium-size, high-magnetic-field and high-density device with a flexible set of poloidal field coils for generation of single, double null and snowflake configurations. In addition, COMPASS-U will be equipped with a closed divertor, which will be operated at high plasma and neutral density and with high optical opacity similar to future reactors. COMPASS-U is capable of addressing some of the key challenges in the field of the plasma exhaust physics, reactor-relevant edge plasma physics, advanced confinement regimes, advanced magnetic configurations and materials for next-step devices. The conceptual design of the individual COMPASS-U systems is presented with emphasis on magnets, support structure and power supply system enhancement.
